Ha Abiding Faith In Future
of Those Who Come.
CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, Pa., Oct. J
President Taft left here tonight for
Washington, his vacation over, his
last engagement kept, to begin the
Winter's work. The President trav
eled from Boston more than 600 miles
to speak today at the opening of the
National Polish Alliance College here.
On the war to Cambridge Springs he
addressed the crowds at Jamestown,
N. Y., Corry, Union City and Mead
vllle. Fa.
In all these speeches he avoided pol
ltics, dwelt on prosperity and peace
and urged his farmer audiences to
press their state Legislatures to back
the Administration plan of co-opera
tlve banks for farmers.
Work on Message to Be Begun.
, The President is due in Washington
early Sunday and has only two post
ttve engagement away from the Cap
ltal In the next two weeks, one at
-New York October SO, when the battle
ship New York Is to be launched, the
other in Newark, N. J., November i,
at the dedication of a monument to
George Washington. Beginning Mon
day he expects to take up the work
of writing his annual message to Con
gi ess and pick up the threads of de
partment routine.
lr his address at the Polish College
.dedication here the President praised
the "sturdy peasantry" and he "bet-
tt r educated classes" who had come to
the United States from Europe. He
said:
"This expression on the part of the
Poles of the United States of a desire
to perpetuate In this, the land of thei:
adoption, a higher institution of. learn
lng, to furnish to their educated youth
an opportunity for the study of the
language, the literature and the his
tory of Poland, presents an interesting
chase of the settlement of this coun
try by Immigrants from the European
countries.
Immigration Helps America.
"If such an Institution were to bare
the effect of separating into an
isolated community the Poles who
come to this country, then It might be
questioned how far those of us whose
first Interest Is that of the country at
large should encourage this effort; but
fortunately no such narrow limiting
motive actuates the movement.
"I am one of those who believe that
America is greatly better in her prea
ent condition because of the infusion
into our body politic and social of the
sturdy peasantry and the better edu
cated classes who have come to us
from the nations of Europe.
Labor Needed to Develop Country,
"We have a right and ought to have
immigration laws that shall prevent
our having thrown upon us undosir
able members of other countries, like
criminals, imbeciles, the insane and the
permanently disabled, but we havo a
vast territory here not yet filled. In
the development of which we need
manual labor of a constant and per
slstent kind.
"I have an abiding faith In the In
fluence of our institutions upon all
who come here. The second genera
tion of a sturdy but uneducated peas
ant, brought to this country and
ra.sed In an atmosphere of thrift and
hard work, and forced by their parents
Into school to obtain an instrument of
self-elevation, has always contributed
to the strength of our people."
SUFFRAGISTS BUSY TO END
Medford Women Keep Up Fight to
Last Hour Before Ballot.
MEDFORD. Or., Oct 26. (Special.)
The Women's Equal Suffrage Associa
tion of Medford plans a whirlwind
campaign Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and Monday preceding the election.
Niprhtly meetings will be held In Hay
market Square. There will be suffrage
songs by the "Votes-for-Women" quar
tet and speeches by Prosecuting Attor
ney Mulkey, Judge E. E. Kelly, Judge
W. E. Crewes and Gus Newberry.
A rally will be held at Wood vllle the
afternoon and night of October 30, in
cluding a banquet in the town hall.
"Amendment No. 1 will be carried
in Jackson County by a large ma
jority," said Mrs. J. F. Reddy, presi
dent of the association, today, "and I
confidently believe it will sweep the
state. Of course a number of men
who say 'they will support us at the
poils will vote against us when they
get In the booth, but, discounting the
traitors to the cause, there will be
more than enough to give women equal
rights with men in the state."
JUDGE AND JURORS FEAR

characterized his conviction, in a talk
with newspaper reporters today. From
his cell in "murderers' row" in the
Tombs, Becker spoke bitterly of his
fate, declaring he had been "railroad
ed" and that could he have taken the
witness stand he would have explained
away the public Impression that he
had acquired a fortune through levying
graft upon gambling houses. The ex
policeman talked In the presence of his
brother, John Becker, a police lieuten
ant. "This case was legal butchery," he
said. "You can't emphasize that too
much. Some of the accounts of my
trial, I notice, say that I paid out
125.003 for my defense. Twenty-five
thousand dollars! why that's 16000 In
excess of any sum I ever possessed or
ever hoped to possess. According to
the newspapers, the public believe I
am worth $100,000. I cannot under
stand the purpose of this statement
All of this could have been explained If
1 had been allowed to go on the stand
every cent
No Consideration Expected.
"Neither Mrs. Becker nor myself "has
had any consideration at all since this
case began. What's more, I don't ex
pect any. I would not be disappointed
If Sheriff Harburger rushed me off
from the courtroom direct to Sing Sing
after Justice Goff has sentenced me
next Wednesday. That will be the
final stage of the railroading of
Becker."
The strain t-f waiting for the out
come of bis trial and the uncertainty he
Ktill faces pending a decision by a
higher court on the appeal his law
yers will make are telling on Becker's
physical condition, according to his
friends. Becker was visited for three
hours by his wife today.
"Mrs. Becker is bearing up as well
as one could expect under Buch cir
cumstances, said the convicted man.
"Her condition troubles me much more
than my own."
Mclntyre Predicts Reversal.
John F. Mclntyre, Beaker's counsel,
said he was confident of a new trial
for his client
"There can't be anything else but a
reversal." he declared. "Becker Is Inno
cent He was convicted upon the testi
mony of a lot of unbelievable creatures
and was found guilty after a trial in
which legal errors beyond number wero
committed. In my opinion.
"I am going to see the Attorney
General of the state within a few days.
I believe that District Attorney Whit
man had no right to offer immunity to
witnesses who might be and were. In
my belief principals in the murder. I
will ask the Attorney-General for a
ruling, and I believe I will prove my
contention."
Immunity Agreements Attacked.
Mr. Mclntyre mentioned "Brldgle"
Webber and Harry Vallon as the two
witnesses he had in mind. He said
that Immunity agreements which the
county prosecutor made with them
were not approved by Judge Malqueen,
who signed those made with Sam
Schepps and "Bald Jack" Rose.
Regarding a report that some of the
four "gunmen" "Gyp the Blood, "Lefty
Louie," "Whitey" Lewis and "Dago

city: "Salem,- Or., Oct 25. This office
is advised through the columns of the
press and otherwise that a citizen of
your city was assaulted by one of your
police officers and that other officials
charged with the enforcement of the
law stood by and permitted the as
sault; that the assaulting officer has
since pleaded guilty and that the City
Council is demanding suspension or tne
guilty officials. In view of the charges
we wish to be fully advised as to what
steps you, as Mayor, will take toward
bringing about a better enforcement
of the law in your city. Otherwise It
will be the duty of this office. to take
suoh steps, in order that your citizens
may be given protection."
To this the Mayor replied by tele
gram and letter today, but he declined
to give out the text of these before
their receipt by the Governor.
In an Interview the Mayor said that
the city is as law-abiding and well po
liced as any in the state and that the
campaign of misrepresentation and
fake stories circulated by the North
western newspaper began before his
election and is continued solely for the
purpose of driving him from office.
It is not believed that Governor West
will take any action until he receives
Mayor Nicholas' letter. . .

strength in able bodied men already in
action.
Defense of Capital Big Issue.
Even If this, which Is the first stage
of the war, is entirely successful for
the small states, the second stage will
be more Interesting. The great ques
tion then will be whether Turkey can
defend Constantinople. It is generally
believed she can, unless unsuspected
conditions develop In the army or revo
lution and bankruptcy strike from be
hind. Politically, there is one outstanding
fact; that Is, If the armies of the Balkan
Kings are able to hold even what they
have gained thus far and the entire
European press seems to take it for
granted that they can there is a new
nation In Europe. Instead of four
feeble kingdoms to which the great
powers have given orders from time
to time, there is a coherent power.
A fortnight ago the great powers
served notice in the form of a Joint note
on the belligerents that whatever the
result of the fighting, there could be
no change in the boundary. The Balkan
states are saying today: "What we have
we will hold." The British press, at
least is accepting that as a fact The
Balkan states, united and flushed with
victory and under arms, will be a brist
ling nettle which' the great powers will
hesitate to take hold of.
The chief interest In the war, purely
from a technical standpoint is that it
is largely a test of the German school
against the French. The Turkish army
has been trained by General Von der
Goltz and his assistants, and is
equipped with German weapons. The
Greek, Bulgarian and Servian armies
had French instructors.
All reports from the armies of the
allies described the Turkish prisoners
as-Ill-fed and poorly clothed; but sol
diers know that prisoners are always
dejected and hungry and do not attach
much importance to that Both sides
accuse their opponents of massacres,
cruelties and violation of the white flag.
Such accusations are incidental to all
wars.- The truth cannot be known
until the history of this one Is written.
